I HEREBY ATTACHED THE PICTURE
Hello
How are you doing today? I guess you are fine.
Thanks for your feedback. I would have called you on the phone just to finalize everything but is very difficult this time due to the nature of my work.
I work for the merchant Navy as a navigation officer here in the UK as a Junior Staff. Like-kind of six months on and off onboard ships.
I'm doing this for a very good friend of mine and her husband as a surprise gift for their wedding anniversary. I won't be able to meet up to India that is why I intend to surprise them. I need full-size hand-painted (Oil Colors or Acrylic Color portraits on Canvas) of 1 Couple. The size should come in size 36”x 48 (Inch). I need the job done before 20 days because of the location for delivery in Bangalore.
I hereby attached the picture but you can make the background a flat smooth suitable background to exaggerate the faces. Then it will look like a beautiful painting not a photograph) So, let me know how much it will cost for the Oil Colors or Acrylic color portraits on Canvas and I want this in the best quality.
Waiting for your urgent response.
Best Regards
Suchitra Pal
